Comprehensive Martial Arts: Relying on Pili Martial Arts to Achieve Dimensionality Reduction Attack

Chapter 170 Why Does This Crisis Look Familiar?
Lu Ping stood at the door of Tongfu Inn, lost in his memories.

Looking back, I often watched the drama "Wulin Waijia" as an electronic dish to go with my meals. Unfortunately, the drama only had 80 episodes, and the ending was not very exciting.

As for the sequel "Dragon Gate Escort" and the movie made more than ten years later, Lu Ping has never seen it.

Not long ago, apparently because Lu Ping was too obsessed with martial arts training and was content with the status quo, the system gave him an achievement task of "punching in".

The content of this task is to check in at the common novice villages in the comprehensive martial arts world or the single martial arts world, but the system does not give the specific location, so Lu Ping can only find it by himself.

In Lu Ping's opinion, this task is actually quite good.

I had originally planned to wander around the world, and now with the added task of checking in, I won't be too bored.

Since he was looking for a novice village, the first place Lu Ping thought of was naturally Qixia Town.

After some inquiries, he finally found the location, and came here after sightseeing, sightseeing, and listening to the music.

In the original drama, Qixia Town is located in 'Guanzhong'.

"Guanzhong" is a geographical concept that has existed since the Warring States Period. It takes Dasan Pass, Hangu Pass, Wugu Pass and Xiaoguan Pass as anchor points, and means "among these four passes".

These four passes are located in Henan, Shaanxi and Ningxia respectively.

The specific location of Qixia Town is probably in the Yuncheng area in southwest Shanxi, close to the capital.

In this world of comprehensive martial arts, the geographical location of Qixia Town is almost the same.

It is also close to the capital city, within the "Four Pass Counties" in the middle and west of the Suzaku Dynasty, and can be regarded as "Guanzhong" in a sense.

"We finally meet, Tongfu Inn!"

At this moment, a system prompt suddenly sounded in Lu Ping's mind.

[Detected that the stage achievement task 'Martial Arts World Novice Village Check-in' was completed (1/10), and the weapon 'Unique Fragrance' was obtained]

A unique fragrance, a collection of the world of Thunderbolt, a unique weapon in the sword art.

The sword has a simple shape, with a long brown tassel at the end of the sword. The hilt is blue and inlaid with Hetian blue jade. The brass guard is decorated with blue glass beads and is elegantly carved, extending to the sword body in the shape of an arrowhead. The sword body adopts a blue gold pattern with seven round holes on it.

"Since we are here, we might as well stay here for two or three days before leaving, just to reminisce about the past."

As for long-term stay, that is impossible.

The world outside is full of opportunities for me to venture out and create new things, so how can I possibly stay here for long?

Having made up his mind, Lu Ping walked into the inn.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a pretty boy with brisk steps walking out from the kitchen and coming towards me.

"Where are you from, little brother? Are you here for a quick stop or to stay at a hotel?"

It's Lao Bai...

Lu Ping looked Bai Zhantang up and down. His sharp eyes, slender fingers and light steps were indeed the characteristics of someone who specialized in practicing light skills and finger techniques.

Due to filming cost issues, the original drama's description of Lao Bai's martial arts skills was basically entirely limited to text descriptions, character thoughts, camera switching and simple special effects.

But now that I am in the situation myself, and I have practiced martial arts and learned light skills, I realize that Lao Bai's light skills are indeed not simple. At least they are not inferior to Yan Sanniang and Sikong Zhaixing whom I met before, and are probably about the same as Lu Xiaofeng.

"Stay at the hotel."

"But I'm going to eat in the lobby first. Give me some of your signature dishes."

"By the way, what are your signature dishes?"

Lao Bai blurted out: "Stir-fried pork intestines! The stir-fried pork intestines made by the chef in our restaurant are the best!"

Lu Ping found a seat and sat down, nodded and asked, "Anything else?"

"There are also scallion chicken, braised pork, and chicken stewed with mushrooms..."

Bai Zhantang could tell at a glance that Lu Ping was a wealthy man, so he quickly listed the most expensive dishes on the menu and then pointed at the wall.

"Look over there, is there anything you want?"

Lu Ping waited quietly for him to finish, then looked at the recipe on the wall again, pondered for a long time, and then said slowly: "Then you should ask the chef to make me some pig intestines."

The air was quiet for a while.

Bai Zhantang smiled and waited for Lu Ping to continue speaking, but Lu Ping seemed to be speechless and fell silent.

His smile froze on his face: "...Gone?"

I just offered so much, but you still don't want it? So I wasted my breath?
Seeing his miserable expression, Lu Ping was amused: "Give me another plate of vegetables, another plate of braised pork, another piece of fish, and a pot of good tea."

"You're panting so hard when you talk..."

Bai Zhantang finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled again: "Wait a moment, little brother, it will be ready soon!"

By now he had understood that the other party was deliberately playing a trick on him, but he didn't mind it. After all, the customer was the boss, and as long as he didn't dine and dine for free, it didn't matter.

While waiting for the meal, Lu Ping looked around the inn.

There is not much difference except that it is a little bigger than the small and simple studio I remembered.

Qixia Town is close to Xiliang River and can be regarded as an extremely important transportation hub. The daily flow of people is also a very scary number.

Tongfu Inn is the only inn within a radius of fifty miles, so you can imagine how popular the business is. While waiting for the meal, Lu Ping also noticed the errand boy working in the inn.

Judging from the face, expression, temperament, and many martial arts characteristics, it can be basically confirmed that this person is Zhu Wushuang, not Guo Furong.

Lu Ping suddenly remembered that he had seen the news about the "collapse of the Sunflower Sect" on the public pavilion some time ago.

He remembered that in the play, Zhu Wushuang came all the way to seek refuge with Bai Zhantang just because the Sunflower Sect was destroyed. At this time, Guo Furong had just been released by Tong Xiangyu and returned to her hometown.

So the storyline during this period...

Tong Xiangyu makes things difficult for Wushuang, Dazui inherits Zhuge Kongfang's legacy, Ji Wubing avenges his brother, Lu Yiming plans to take Mo Xiaobei back to Hengshan, Xiucai Wushuang has a conflict, and the old man who draws is revising the sword manual...

Wait! Drawing old people?!
By the way, there is also a mysterious person hidden here who is suspected to be a 'wicked Taoist priest'!
Lu Ping suddenly felt that it wouldn't hurt to stay in the town for two more days.

Of course, he didn't come here to learn martial arts from the old man.

I already have weapons and martial arts classics, so why do I need a bicycle?
Lu Ping's main purpose was to see whether the old man who painted knew martial arts and what his skills were.

……

By nightfall, Tongfu Inn had closed.

After everyone had finished eating the dinner Wushuang had made, they were about to go their separate ways and do their own things.

Just then, Xiaomi's head popped out from the door.

"Old White...Old White!!"

When Bai Zhantang saw Xiaomi coming back after disappearing for half a day, he knew that there was news about the matter he had entrusted him to investigate today, so he turned around and walked out the door.

"Stop! Where are you going?"

Hearing Tong Xiangyu's voice from behind, Bai Zhantang stopped immediately.

"I want to ask Xiaomi about something."

He smiled, pointed outside, and ran out without looking back.

Tong Xiangyu couldn't help but grumble when she saw this: "He's so mysterious all day long, and I don't know what he's busy with."

"I think he's just looking for an excuse to avoid doing the dishes!"

Seeing that Bai Zhantang was not there, Li Dazui became bolder and immediately seized the opportunity to make things difficult for him. He complained to Tong Xiangyu: "He has escaped three times this month, and Wushuang washed his clothes for him every time..."

Tong Xiangyu was furious when she heard this: "Is there such a thing?! He is so rebellious!"

She had just eaten and drunk her fill, and she didn't know where to put all her energy. Upon hearing Li Dazui's report, she immediately wanted to teach Bai Zhantang a lesson to help him digest his food.

"It's okay, shopkeeper."

Zhu Wushuang smiled and put out the fire for Tong Xiangyu, while swiftly clearing the dishes: "My senior brother is busy, and I just happen to be free, so I'll wash it. Besides, I like working..."

"Oops~"

Tong Xiangyu felt distressed and pitiful for Zhu Wushuang, so she took her hand and advised her, "Silly child, don't indulge him like this every time!"

"It's okay, boss, I'll go get busy first."

While others were busy with their own affairs, Tong Xiangyu felt that Bai Zhantang and Xiaomi were acting suspiciously. She left the inn, hid behind the pillar at the door, and eavesdropped on their conversation.

At this time, Bai Zhantang and Xiaomi were standing not far from the door of the inn, talking in low voices.

"Old White, everything has been found out."

Xiaomi looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to this side, then said quietly: "One good news, one bad news."

Bai Zhantang's brows furrowed instantly: "What do you mean, what are the origins of those two people?"

"These two little girls, one is Murong Jiu, the youngest of the 'Nine Beauties in the World' of Murong Villa, and the other is Zhang Jing, the daughter of 'Beautiful Lady Zhang Sanniang'."

"You were once a member of the underworld, so you must have heard rumors about them?"

Bai Zhantang nodded silently.

He was once a well-known "King of Thieves" in the martial arts world. He has been living in seclusion in Qixia Town for only two years, so he is quite clear about the affairs of the martial arts world.

He had also heard a little about the "Monument of the World's Storms", "Six Masters of Taiping" and "Weaponry and Military Classics" some time ago.

After all, the public pavilion branch of Siguan County was built in Shibalipu, not far from Qixia Town.

It only took a day or two for the news to reach here.

"This is a big problem... What's the good news?"

Xiaomi paused and said, "That was good news. They are not bad people."

Can this be considered good news?
Bai Zhantang felt something was wrong: "What's the bad news?"

"The bad news is that their whereabouts have been exposed. As early as tomorrow, or at the latest in three days, assassins sent by both the black and white forces will resist the Seven Heroes Town!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhantang was so frightened that his face turned pale, his lips trembled, his body went limp, and he fell backwards uncontrollably.

Fortunately, Xiaomi was prepared and quickly helped him up: "Lao Bai... Lao Bai... are you okay?"

How can it be okay?!
Why does our inn have to face this kind of disaster from both the black and white worlds?
Wait! Why did I say 'again'?
